Howard Johnson’s Dimension 0.27G Herbicide is a professional-grade granular pre-emergent herbicide designed to prevent many common grassy and broadleaf weeds in lawns and landscaped areas. Formulated with 0.27% dithiopyr, the same active ingredient used in professional turf programs, this granular weed preventer helps stop weeds such as crabgrass, poa annua, chickweed, oxalis, and spurge before they emerge. In addition to pre-emergent control of weeds, the active ingredient in Howard Johnson Dimension, dithiopyr, also provides early post-emergent control of crabgrass when applied before the weed reaches the tiller or 3-leaf growth stage. This means that if you are a little late with your early spring pre-emergent application, you may still be able to control young crabgrass weeds.
HJE Dimension 0.27G is a weed preventer commonly used by lawn care professionals, golf courses, and homeowners who want weed control in established cool and warm season lawns, ornamental landscapes, established turfgrass, and container and field-grown nurseries. When applied at the proper time, Howard Johnson Dimension Pre-Emergent Herbicide creates a protective barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating.
Key Benefits of Dimension 0.27G Pre-Emergent Herbicide:
Prevents crabgrass and other annual weeds before they emerge
Contains dithiopyr, a proven professional turf herbicide
Provides early post-emergent control of young crabgrass
Easy-to-apply granular formulation
Suitable for cool-season and warm-season lawns
Can be used in ornamental landscapes and nursery production
Flexible timing with single or split applications
Please note: Due to supply chain limitations, you may receive different packaging than is shown in the photo. It is still Howard Johnson’s Dimension 0.27G Herbicide.

Established residential lawns
Cool-season and warm-season turfgrass
Ornamental landscape beds
Golf course fairways, roughs, and tee boxes
Commercial sod farms
Field-grown nursery ornamentals
Container-grown nursery stock
Always confirm your specific turfgrass species and application timing on the label before applying.
Pre-emergent herbicides, like HJE Dimension, work best before weed seeds germinate. Timing is critical for effective control. Typical application windows include:
Early Spring: Prevent crabgrass and summer annual weeds
Late Summer to Early Fall: Prevent winter weeds like poa annua
Split Applications: Two applications in the Spring or two applications in the fall to provide extended protection throughout each growing season
A good rule of thumb is to apply spring pre-emergent when soil temperatures remain at about 50–55°F for several days, when crabgrass begins to germinate.
See our guides on Spring Pre-Emergents and Fall Pre-Emergents to learn more about the best time to apply.
Howard Jonhsons Dimension 0.27G is applied with a granular spreader and watered into the soil after application. Follow these basic application steps for lawn applications for the best results:
Calibrate your drop or rotary spreader before use.
Apply the product evenly across the turf area.
For more uniform coverage, apply half the product in one direction and the other half perpendicular to the first pass.
Water the area after application to activate the herbicide barrier in the soil.
Always follow the labeled rates and application instructions for your turf type.

The Ideal Herbicide for my St. Augustine Lawn
By Gregory on 04/01/2022
Initial TurfBox application for 2022. Arrived quickly. Easy application using my Scott's Speedy Green broadcast spreader set to 5. The only drawback is that there are no recommended spreader settings listed on the package label/insert as indicated in the DoMyOwn instructions. Looking forward to a great lawn this year.

Still waiting for any results

I'm into my first 18 months or so of using this as part of the yearly maintenance subscription. I easily have more weeds now than when I started.

Not quite up to the task . . .
By Duane on 04/15/2022
Purchased as part of an annual program to control weeds and fungus. This pre-emergent didn't quite prevent weed growth the way I expected. Still quite a lot of weed activity - let's see how the crab grass activity is later in the season. I hope the fungicides that are going to be shipped perform better than this.

Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates.
Please view our How to Calibrate your Spreader video HERE for instructions and tutorial on how to do this.
